This was sent to me in an email by a vanilla friend. I don't know who it is quoting, or how accurate the figures are, but it made me smile.
In light of the recent financial trubulence, the following observation and conclusion has been made. As an Independant Financial Adviser I am always striving to provide informed choice to and alternative strategies to clients.
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago they would now be worth approx £4.95,
With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth approx £16.50.
£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5.
But if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminum re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
I do not recommend as along term investment strategy, but obviously alternatives have to be considered,

Of course you could always just stuff your one grand under the mattress. After a year you would still have one grand and saved yourself the trip to the bank, the mopping up and cleaning bills from drunken induced peeing and puking on the carpet and the fuel getting to the recycling plant.
Simple really!
